Posts Tagged ‘Drifter: A Space Trading Game’

John noticed Drifter, then a barely formed space nugget, when he was constructing the first ever Kickstarter Katchup (returning this weekend). We haven’t mentioned it since then but the time is right for a second look because it’s now possible to order the game directly from the developers, receiving immediate access to the same beta that pledgers have been playing for a while now. Although capable of fighting pirates and the like, Drifter’s ships are the camels of the cosmos, mighty traders charting their courses from star to star. There’s a new trailer below.

This makes sense as a thing to do. With so many gaming Kickstarters running, for games we’re genuinely interested to play, let’s have a look to see where they all are this weekend. The headline news is that Grim Dawn has finished its run, with just shy of double its target reached. Below you can catch up on Moebius, Xenonauts, Tex Murphy, and many more. And you can also note that almost all of them aren’t pledging to Kick It Forward, which completely sucks, so you should get in touch with them all and yell at them.
